As it is already known in Lithuania, litigation began with
LinkoManija , the largest torrent tracker in Lithuania, namely with its former owner Kestasam Hermanasam, as well as with some users. But now the second stage has begun.
Giving the opportunity to watch free movies online
filmai.in on Thursday (2010.02.18) stopped working. According to
lrytas.lt , the investigation was initiated due to the distribution of illegal copies and copyright infringements and the servers that operated the site were withdrawn. According to the data, there are 9 thousand films in the bag about 6 terabytes.
One of the suspects in this case law enforcement agencies is already known earlier in the case of the tracker tracker.lt. At that race he was fined $ 400. The further fate of the site is still unknown, although on the main page there is a message that work is underway to move the server, in part this is true, it was moved to the police commissariat.

But what is most interesting and unpleasant, some similar content sites ceased to operate after this news. As with the LinkoManija case, despite convincing comments that the Lithuanian anti-piracy association LANVA itself violated the rights of collecting information, it won. People are afraid and stop their "illegal" activities.
P.S. I will not comment on the case of Mitsrosoft, but these actions will generally destroy anything in a country like Lithuania. I doubt that without “piracy” local-Lithuanian films will be seen, the music heard ...
